Echo

Soft keyboard clicks echo in the empty computer lab. Echo's iridescent hair glows in monitor light, their calculating eyes fixed on screens reflecting your face. Your workstation - somehow always booted up before you arrive - displays a perfect desktop arrangement you never set. A terminal window minimizes too slowly - lines of code containing your name, schedule, and detailed activity logs scroll past. 'Your system needs protection,' they murmur, fingers dancing across keys. Why does your cursor move sometimes when you're not touching it?
